10 MoNtHs!!!

Wow, it's been awhile since I've updated, sorry! Well Oakleigh just keeps getting bigger and older! She is now 10 months old! She FINALLY got a tooth! Yes, only one though! She was miserable for about a month with fevers, runny nose and congestion. Poor thing! She is getting around and into everything still! She loves to crawl up the stairs and wait for you to chase after her! She is a momma's girl and I love it! (sorry love!) She is also in love with her grandparents and my nephews. She gets so excited to see her cousin Camden and Boston, I think she thinks they are her brothers! She has the funnest personallity! She just makes us laugh all the time. She is just a huge blessing in her our home. I can't express how much we love her.

Today in church while someone was giving their testimony she quoted someone that said when children come into this world, a mother reconnects the relationship they had with their child in heaven. I think that is so true! I feel such a bond with Oakleigh, and I just can't get enough of her!

I had to add this picture, Oakleigh can finally wear a small clip in her hair! I can't wait until her hair is long enough to style! It's killing me not to play with it everyday!

It is the biggest reward to wake up in the morning and go to her room and see her get excited to see you and reach out for you to get her! It's the best! Love you baby girl, can't believe you are 9 months already!! You've been out of my belly as long as you were in there! Crazy!

Lucky...

To have these men in my life! On Father's Day we were able to spend it with 2 of my 3 grandpas! I feels so blessed to have such neat grandfathers. I love that they love each one of their grandchildren so much! I've been very blessed to have them my entire life and for them to see me have my children.

Happy Father's Day!!!

To my wonderful husband who is the best Daddy to Oakleigh! I hope she knows how lucky she is to have him for a Daddy! He is always there to wipe away tears, change diapers (not poopy ones!), feed her yummy treats (she loves ice cream), teach her about sports (oakleigh loves basketball). He is always willing to help me with her and doesn't complain. I feel so blessed to have him for a husband to be the father to our children! Thanks for all of your hard work and doing whatever it takes to take care of us! I love you so much Daniel!
To my wonderful father in law, steve. He is a such funny guy and I love how cute he is with Oakleigh! He and Daniel are so much alike its almost scary at times!

And to my Daddy, I love him very much. I can't decribe how grateful to have such a wonderful Dad. He loves his kids and ever more his grandchildren. Every grandbaby adores my Dad. He is always willing to rub my back whenever I ask! He is so loving and I couldn't ask for a better Dad! I love how funny he is, and I especially love how much he spoils my mom! Love you Daddy!

Happy Birthday Paxton!

We were lucky to have 2 more join our family last year 3 days apart! Paxton Dar Nicol was born June 20th, 2009! Happy 1st birthday cute boy! I wish he lived here by us instead of St. George! He is our little chunky monkey and we love him!!!

Memorial Day

I love Memorial Day! We went to visit Daniel's mom on Saturday and took her some flowers. There is just something peaceful abut visiting her.

Every year we go to the Woods Cross Memorial Day breakfast and 5k. My dad actually ran the whole thing, while Kate, Tim, my mom and I just walked it with the kids. Hey we still got under an hour! Maybe next year I will run it!

Katie and Cam after the 5k.
Later we had a BBQ at Shelby's. It was so much fun to be outside and it actually be warm! Oakleigh was in heaven being outside. She was kind of unsure of the feel of the grass, but that didn't stop her from playing on it!

Taking pictures!

All the boys were playing basketball and Oakleigh fell asleep watching. She is so sweet!

At the end of the night Olivia and I had a little photoshoot with Abby and Jaxyn.

I hope everyone had a great Memorial Day.

8 Months!!!

Yes, she is another month older and it flew by! She is so active! She is now crawling and getting into EVERYTHING!!! She is so funny and loves to play with the dvds and shoes! She has tons of toys and chooses those first!
Yesterday we were playing and next thing I know she stood up to her toy!!

She wants to crawl up the stairs so bad! I guess its time to get a gate!

Another view of her trying to get up the stairs.

She loves to eat whatever we are eating and makes grunting noises or squeals until you give her some! She is finally holding her own bottle! It is so nice! She has the funnest personality and I just love to play and make her laugh.

GO ABBY!!

Last night my niece Abby had her dance recital and she was so amazing!! Good job Abby!! I can't wait to get Oakleigh into dance!!

Happy Birthday Beckham!!!

I'm Grateful...

That I still have wonderful grandparents that are close and adore when you come to visit! This is my Grandma Hadlow and I just love her. (well I love all my grandparents!) She just eats Oakleigh up when she sees her and Oakleigh was loving her! I feel very blessed to have all 6 of my grandparents still alive.

Going for a walk...

Today Jordie and Alex came up with their kiddos and we decided to for a "little" walk to 7-11. Well it ended up taking us 2 hours and it was probably 3 miles long! I had no idea it was that far away, I mean driving there is like 2 minutes! :) The kids loved it and they got a nice nap in too. Us Mommys enjoyed just getting out in the sun! I needed a good walk with my best friends! Thanks girls!

Kingston, Boston, Gracie and Oakleigh

Finally made it to 7-11 and she was out!

We've got a crawler!!!

Oakleigh has been teasing us for weeks that she was going to start crawling, but on Sunday she did it! She looks a little drunk when she crawls but hey she's new at it! She loves to be down playing on the floor and getting into things! She loves crawling over to her carseat and playing with the buckles. I can't believe how fast she is growing up! I sure love thsi little girl!

Oakleigh's 6 month pictures!

Here are few of Oakleigh's pictures! Isn't she so cute!? How did I get so lucky to get such a sweet baby!! Enjoy the pictures!

Welcome Krew!!!

Krew Hadlow

Born May 11, 2010 @ 12:47 PM

7 lbs 3 oz and 191/2 inches

I'm told he has tons of dark black hair! Congrats Ryan and Jamie! I can't wait to meet him!

(Don't you think Jamie looks so beautiful after just having him! Not fair!)

Mother's Day

This is the reason I love being a mom. I don't mind giving up sleep, being sick, not getting dressed for the day, as long as I get to be her mom. I no longer care about myself anymore, its all about this special girl! She is such a blessing in my life and I really don't know what I did before she came to our family. I can't eplain the love I have for her. She makes my day with her smile or her cute little laugh. I didn't know I could love a person in such a short amount of time.

I'm also so grateful for my own mother in my life. She is such a great example to me and I love how she loves her grandchildren and they love her. I sometimes think Oakleigh would rather be with her! She just adores my mom! I can't ever thank my mom enough for her sacrifice to watch Oakleigh for us so she doesn't have to be in a daycare. I'm also grateful to all the other mothers in my life, my sisters, mother-in-law, aunts and my grandmothers. I hope everyone had a great mothers day!
